The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) has reached 25 years of keeping beaches safer by delivering a world class lifeguard service to coastal communities around the UK. As the charity marks this milestone, its lifesavers are training ahead of the 2026 season and the Easter school holidays.

Families living in or visiting the South West who are also planning a trip to an open farm or farm attraction this Easter half-term, are being urged to wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water after touching animals, and to remain tick aware when spending time outdoors.
